She's right!! I hope the journal editors out there who are always mad that my reviews are [mumble] weeks late appreciate that I am adding the one critical element AI never will: procrastination

why are people only ever described as "no-nonsense", what if you're a nonsense person, what then

look you contain multitudes and none of them belong in a tent

Spouse is looking at yurts online and saying things to me like "well if you were going to stay in a tent it would obviously need to meet commercial glamping standards"

we continue to overlook the influence of Absolute Fucking Idiots on history and its outcomes

"Chatbots are here to stay!", "Chatbots will revolutionize research!", "We have to train students in the best ways to use chatbots", etc.

"you're scaring the hoes" ENOUGH. do not project your own cowardice unto the hoes. I have heard their words and seen their deeds, and you besmirch both. die where you stand

went to the regional mini horse championships, like a normal person

“Uncivil, a consortium of scholars and researchers of which Moreton is a member, found that 20 out of the 23 foundations most active in the pluralism and depolarization space also fund conservative policy networks or pro-Israel organizations.”

Truly bizarre story of how two papers from the 1940s by physics pioneer Max Planck have been "retracted" from Naturwissenschaften, potentially by an algorithm, for anachronistic "plagiarism" issues, leaving the current editor baffled (but it is Springer Nature so.... www.science.org/content/arti...

this beer ad has the statistical rigor of a 1980s electrophysiology paper in Nature

If I'm meant to view a talk during a conference, the universe will align for it to be so. Planning to see a presentation is tampering in God's domain

Shelley: for fucks sake can't you lot do anything but rip me off Shelley: it's always WAH WAH WAH WHAT IF YOU TAMPERED IN GODS DOMAIN OO ISN'T THAT SCARY WITH YOU LOT Shelley: i already did it Cook: Cook: see his name is victor frank, like victor frankenstein Shelley: i fuckin already said i get it

I have remarkable self esteem for someone whose cat marches into the bathroom when I'm singing in the shower to YELL at me to CAN IT😾

Oh, lemme add @altnoaa.bsky.social to #BlockOfTheDay

Folks are in the mentions here saying "oh ho but those movements did nothing, look, we have fascism anyway" And my loves where do you think people cut their teeth learning the skills that effectively repelled fascist agents in the street during the ICE invasions

Sorry to everyone else about having close competitors, I'm one of one and can't relate

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

We are never really alone. 🫶🏼 Another sketch from my current project. I’ll have more for patrons later in the week. #sketch #bears #wildlifeart #art

What is it about a little side sandwich that makes a bowl of soup a thousand percent more delicious

The four humors (2026 update): serotonin, dopamine, cortisol, oxytocin

“Attention is only a resource. A precious one, but a resource. Curiosity is your very spirit. Its corruption for profit might be the worse sin. Reading, the nurturing of curiosity, is the opposite of that abuse.”

What keeps me going on the days I don't just throw up my hands and run into the woods

Well, they do sell -80s that they promote as functional.

Today in innovative science: I've put both burrata and toum on this leftover miso lemon spaghetti

"Feynman was a genius!" who threatened and coerced women into sex with him, demeaned and beat the shit out of his second wife, sneered at Sally Ride, and called his own female students "pinheads". The best thing about him is that he's dead now.

Angela Collier had a deep dive on Feynman's books where she found Feynman hadn't even written them. 🙃 They're essentially the stories Feynman (maybe) told some other guy (Ralph Leighton) who wrote them down with an unknown amount of changes.

More young men were lost to aids than the Vietnam War, many of them creatives at the peak of their careers. Howard Ashman, Derek Jarman, Keith Haring and Freddie Mercury are some of the most famous but there are so many unknown writers/actors/artists/filmakers cut down before they even started.

The absolute violence of another person or the clock or the calendar saying to moi "probably time to get ready to go". Riddle me this, Why would I go anywhere that doesn't appreciate me just as I am

I have been saying this

Enjoying this talk about how to inflict maximum tickle. For anyone curious: (1) Touch velocity non-linearly modulates ticklishness, (2) force monotonically increases ticklishness until the touch is perceived as painful, (3) the smallest contact size & (4) longer duration induced more tickle #ESCAN

"AI is operating at a PhD level" oh, so it's replying 'sorry for the late response' to every email and complaining about its labor conditions?

RE: OMB-2026-0034 Comments Vought was unprepared for the revolt on his hands and they are struggling and/or obstructing to get comments up in real time. They have weeks to actually post things after a review, so the numbers and specific individual comments may take time showing up. 1/3
